I have been a Student of Elite Martial Arts for almost two years now. This isnt the first review that I have done for EMA and I Echo the sentiments for the very first review I gave for them. I think that Elite Martial Arts is the best place to train in a safe environment. Before Joining Elite, I never thought about branching out and meeting new people, trying new things etc. but everyone at Elite was so welcoming and made everything as comfortable as possible. Their ultimate goal is to make sure you have a good time and get a great workout while at the same time, teaching practical self defense to protect oneself. All of the instructors from Sifu Vito down to the ITP team are wonderful people and are willing to teach you what they can so that you can succeed in your goal to reach the black belt. I am currently a red belt and have learned so much from them in the time that I have trained with them. In the time that I have been at Elite Martial Arts, everyone has become like family to me and I have met some great people throughout my time. All my work friends, family members, and even random people I meet always asks me about martial arts and I'm always quick to tell them all about Elite and how great it is. I HIGHLY recommend Elite Martial Arts 100%. read more

"A NEW FAMILY THAT ONE CAN ACTUALLY LIKE"...SMILE. So Covid came around, The kids were going stir crazy, and we were even prior to covid looking for a Martial arts academy that had all the necessary ingredients. After shopping around diligently to find this so-called "Perfect academy", there it was "ELITE MARTIAL ARTS". So from the get-go, I signed my son up and the overall constant vibes were nothing but Positive from and to every direction from not only all the staff, but students alike, like a pleasant family reunion each time. At this point as I was constantly driving my son to practice and meeting our new extended family, it came to a point where it all seemed silly of why I should just be watching with some of the other parents/ new family members and decided, I need to join and partake in all the fun they were all having, so I did. It's been several months now and nothing has changed by way of our decision to be part of our new family who are all constantly offering to assist, help, and support us or anyone in any way one may need. We are truly blessed to be part of this group of wonderful well-balanced people. Thank you ELITE for having us as part of your Martial arts academy family..Smile. read more

Although not your typical martial arts student, I can give a very accurate account of EMA. I started here three years ago at age 59 partly because of a specific interest in Jeet Kune Do, and partly in preparation to stay active once I retired. Long story short, I just passed my black belt test a few weeks ago. Sifu Vito is unbelievably knowledgeable, and the entire teaching staff is extremely helpful, skillful, and friendly. No one had ever been impatient with me (except myself), or laughed at me, even though sometimes I had to laugh at my own efforts. I've made some good friends here, and many of them, as well as the staff are like family. The nice part about JKD is that it's a blend of the best techniques of a variety of arts, so it's effective and interesting, and includes using weapons or empty hands. It's so much fun, you almost don't realize you're exercising. I'm in better shape now than I was in my 20s. The children's program teaches discipline, respect and self confidence, and the staff constantly looks for (and finds) ways to improve the student experience. Whether for a child or adult, I cannot recommend EMA more highly. read more

Elite Martial Arts is a great and fun way to learn how to defend yourself. You get physically fit in a fun environment. Elite Martial Arts boost my confidence. It helped me with my people skills, and helps you to communicate better with others. It also is a great way to discipline your kids, as well as adults. If you can't do something, Elite Martial Arts works around it to fit your needs. It's never too late to join, weather your young or old, Elite Martial Arts is for you!!! It is a great self defense mechanism, and it might just save your life one day. Sifu's master is Dan Inosanto, who was taught by Bruce Lee. Sifu goes all around the world looking for new material, he spends his earnings making the school even better. My family drives a long way just to get to Elite Martial Arts. I am a 16 year old girl, and small for my age, with Sifu's techniques I could take down someone way taller and heavier than me. So who ever you are, Elite Martial Arts is for you!!! read more

My wife sought out Elite Martial Arts with the intent to fulfill our shared vision of enrolling our daughters in martial arts training. I had successfully completed my yellow belt in Judo in my final semester of college, and wanted to continue honing my skills and improving my fitness. The entire staff of Elite Martial Arts made us feel welcome and appreciated, and were highly respectful of our customs. All of the trainers and staff exhibit incredible skills in one on one interaction, and they know you on a first name basis, and vice versa. I consider it an honor to be a student, and I'm already seeing marked improvement in my children's self-confidence and discipline. My wife and I enjoy our shared sparring sessions, and I highly recommend training with Elite Martial Arts, as you're treated as much more than just a customer. read more

My son was interested in starting some sort of martial arts during the summer while school was out. We didn't really know what style of martial arts to pick, so we made an appointment with Mr. Ryan to see what to do. Asher decided he wanted to make the commitment to work towards obtaining his black belt In Jeet Kune Do. He is really enjoying the two clases a week and we already see the positive changes in his attitude and confidence. The instructors are really good with the kids and you can see they have a lot of fun while also learning how to defend themselves. Nothing but good things to say. read more

My granddaughter and I started taking classes last year and we really love it! Wanted to find something we could do together and this is the perfect place.

We are not very outgoing but everyone makes you feel so welcome it's like one big family. I think it is one of the best martial art schools around, they really care about every student and show interest in your progress, and they are very patient and helpful. read more

"Elite Martial Arts is for EVERYONE" Before I started this program, I was extremely out of shape, disrespectful, and overall I was just plain sad. Elite Martial Arts has CHANGED ALL OF THAT. Everything about this place is just outstanding. If you need help on whatever you are struggling with, an instructor will be glad to assist. If you are out of shape, and you want to find out if you are dedicated, GET INTO THIS PROGRAM NOW! The community is so nice as well. Please consider joining, you won't have any regrets. read more

Our son Jake has been going for a little more than a month now and we couldn't be happier! The varying class times makes it easy for our schedule to go 2x a week. The amount of help and instruction is top notch. Jake has not only gained some sweet moves, his confidence is better and he is excited to go to class! If anyone is on the fence, just try a class and see how much love is poured into each person who is there. It's a true family atmosphere and Sifu wants everyone on the mat to succeed. read more

We moved recently and we're looking for a place for my girls to continue their martial arts training. We focus on importance of self defense and self confidence. My girls initially were sad to leave what they knew and all the friends they had built while attending a martial arts location back home. I know in time they will also feel the same at Elite. However, in the meantime they are learning new ways, skills and building the self confidence at their new home at Elite. read more

If your looking for applicable Martial Arts, then this is the place for you. Elite Martial Arts is a Jeet Kune Do school for kids and adults. I have been a student now for almost 3 years. The training environment is respectful, high energy and extremely fun. Different arts such as Kali, Savate and BJJ are taught as well (just to name a few). Training in the Martial Arts has changed my life for the better, and I would suggest that everyone gives it a try. read more

What a great place. My husband, 12 year old son, 8 year old daughter, and myself started as a family. Everyone welcomed us with open arms from the minute we walked into the door.
